Band Members: My new album Anomie is now available for purchase at
http://cdbaby.com/cd/marcalter
It comes nicely packaged with the amazing, surreal artwork of my friend Thomas Heaphy. Hope you will buy it and let me know what you think!
Influences: Put Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake in a blender with Elliot Smith, Radio Head and Pink Floyd. add some unknown extraterrestrial ingredient from outer space and blend on on high.
Garnish with a generous smattering of The Cure and Dead can Dance and Nick Cave, and serve up cold.Additional influences include The Moody Blues, The Velvet Underground, Neil Young, Cat Stevens, Bob Dylan, Joanie Mitchel, Joan Baez, David Bowie, Jimmy Hendrix, Sara MacLaughlin, TOOL and Led Zepplin
Sounds Like: Folk songs and ambient rock. Dark and melencholy at times but bright and humorous at others. I thrash out thoughts and feelings regarding politics, crime, unrequited love, alienation and the all-around human condition. The songs are filled with cinicism, and humor and deprication of self and society. Not to mention, lust, longing and the eternal search for beauty, whatever that is.
Type of Label: Unsigned
